not much new here. went to dh's 4th of july thing with him. it was a potluck so i made baked beans and cucumbers and onions. none left of either. then they did fireworks it was an hour show. got home and soaked up the ac.

my youngest decided that she was ready for a new dog but it had to be a fluffy one like she had (her ****z-sue was purposly hit by the kids down the road a year ago) so we went to look at a litter of ****z-zue pups, and ended up bringing home the mama dog. she is super glued to my dd. she needs a haircut badly. so she gets to go friday for that.

garden is still doing good.

lost a rabbit to the heat yesterday.:( but on a good note the standard rex doe had babies today.:woot

got a sale this weekend. going to take some rabbits that have earned their 3rd strike. one doe i never did get babies out of, and another that would have 1 or2 babies and kill them. plus a couple others. going to look for some more ducks, and a nice new zeland buck. never know what they will have up there. it is mostly animals. so i am going to see what kinds of stuff i can find to take up there.

well almost time to go water the garden...

Been thinking of doing this for a few months now so without further ado...
18. Do you fish? Bait or explosives?
Yes. I plead the 5th as it is illeagle to use explosives.
Correct me if I am wrong: Do they use explosives for fishing, in the U.S.?

Ummmmm..........kinda. that is why there are no fish in the ponds on the farm!

I remember family members"giving them a call" a few times also. But you don't use an alunamum boat for that.

We had a potatoe cannon for a few years.

And yes the cannon, when it goes off- it rattles your teeth and you can feel the concushon in your chest. But then again for the size he built it calls for about 1/4 cup of black powder. Well.......if 1/4 cup is good then 1 cup would be better! We "don't" have 1/2 sticks of dinamite also. We have a large teepee fire that is @ 30+ feet tall. And we put firecrackers on it. 500,000 last year in honer of my dad (the 4th of july was his birthday). You have to wear ear plugs when they light it.

I will dig out pics...
